BAD GAS! Will this flow n go **** it out of the tank?

[WOT]

I wanna bring my street beater s10 back out for the summer, when I stored it last year there was still 2/3 of a tank, went to start it today and it ran like shit. Im putting it on bad gas sinece no codes were thrown and I didnt do any fuel stabilizier..... stupid I no

So I bought this flow n go

http://www.flo-n-go.com/products/product_maxflo/

On sale at autozone for like $20, I just read the side of the box and saw siphon so I bought it. I get home and open it and it doesnt say a **** thing about being able to siphon. But on there website that I linked to they posted a pic of just the handle and tubing and it says it can siphon, but Im unsure.

I dont want to even use it if its not going to work so I can take it back. Can I simply shove the tube down my very bendy fuel neck and start trying to siphon it out?

add alcohol.....it will absorb the H20 and then burn off through the motor

looks like its made to pump gas in so take it back and buy a hose or drop the tank

"Maxflo fuel siphon pumps gas in any direction"

"hassle-free siphon control"

I just dont get if I can simply stick my hose in the tank and pump the handle and have it pour into the canister it came with though.

I dont know how you siphon gas, I think I seen my friend one time just **** through a hose on a 4 wheels until the gas started coming up, then he swallowed a buncha gas thats why i wanted a handle lol, cant stand the smell of as

Could do it the old fashioned way...

drop the tank FTW...you can clean all the crap out of the tank with this method as well...

sure, it's work...but 40 minutes of work and doing it the right way is where it's at...

of course most kids wont run this route, they will look for the fast solution...good luck

Definetely not dropping the tank, it involves a lot of interior stripping and definetely not a 40 minute job, just wanna know if this flow n go I already purchased will work

it will not get it all.....thus my suggestion for alcohol, which is the main ingredient in the water removers

don't see why not really. i would also pump it twice. after it's empty, put a couple gallons of new gas in and pump that out as well. it'll flush it a little maybe.

i call BS....you are gonna steal gas. Thats why you really bought the siphon

I've always done it by ******* on a hose in the tank, i got a mouth full of gas but its not really gonna kill you.

Or you could buy a boat motor primer and stick one end of the hose in the gas tank then pump it all out
